Workshop Overviews:
Leap into Data
Learn the skills of data collection and analysis!
Tuesday, 28 March AND/OR Tuesday 4 April
Stonefields Collaborate Trust & Te Kete Hono are delighted to invite registrations for their joint Data & Analytics Workshop. This is a two-part workshop - we encourage you to attend both, although each workshop can be registered for separately.
Part 1: Extracting and Organising or “Filling the Pool!”
This 2-hour workshop is ideal for teachers and leaders who want to improve their knowledge of spreadsheets for their own inquiries or who may need to prepare data for others to analyse. Part 1 of our leap into data and analytics supports teachers and learners to pull data from different sources and prep it for analysis in a spreadsheet. Attendees will create their own hypothetical set of data and take it through the following process to get ready for statistical analysis.
You will create an outcome statement for your school/team and determine your strategy for measuring progress and outcomes. We will share with you a tool for you to take away, use, adapt, and trial to support you in doing longitudinal analysis. This will help you to better understand if you are making enough of a difference.
Part 2: Interrogating and Analysing Data or “Learning to Dive”
This 2-hour workshop is ideal for teachers and leaders who already know how to prepare data in a spreadsheet and are looking for ways to maximise the information they have access to in order to become more data informed. Part 2 supports teachers and learners to take a pre-prepared dataset and perform a variety of inbuilt statistical analyses on it. Attendees will use hypothetical data and examples to perform and interpret a variety of statistical analysis methods.
Cultural Capability - Navigating the Pacific Through the Lens of Tapasā
Friday, 5 May
Te Kete Hono and Tai Huki Consult are delighted to invite registrations for their joint Workshop: Navigating the Pacific Through the Lens of Tapasā
This workshop will help guide Pacific achievement, aspirations and dreams through Pacific perspectives, values and knowledge. Supporting the engagement of Pacific learners, parents, families and communities is an area of focus for many schools in Aotearoa. Tapasā has been developed and designed to provide a Pacific lens to Our Code, Our Standards | Ngā Tikanga Matatika, Ngā Paerewa through effective and quality teaching, learning and assessment practice aligned to the New Zealand Curriculum.
Empower learners of Pacific heritages through integrating effective strategies into your pedagogical practices using the Tapasā framework and cultural values to design and support your class programme and local curriculum design.
Putting the Pieces Together - Teaching, Learning and Assessment Cycle
Thursday, 11 May AND/OR Thursday, 8 June
Stonefields Collaborate Trust & Te Kete Hono are delighted to invite registrations for their joint Data & Analytics Workshop. This is a two-part workshop - we encourage you to attend both, although each workshop can be registered for separately.
Te Kete Hono is calling on beginner teachers and teachers returning to the profession to join us for a two part series specifically designed to empower and support them. In a safe space, teachers are asked to reflect on their teaching practice, challenge their perception of what teaching looks like in their context and understand how the Teaching, Learning and Assessment Cycle can support them to create better outcomes for tamariki. This workshop will help teachers build their confidence and provide practical takeaways and activities that will help refine their practice.
Exploring Progressions in reading, writing and maths: Practical resources for building and using progressions to support learner agency
Friday, June 16
Stonefields Collaborate Trust & Te Kete Hono are delighted to invite registrations for their joint Progressions Workshop.
Are you keen to develop agency in your learners? A great place to start is to develop learning progressions in Reading, Writing and Mathematics. Progressions are a powerful way of enabling learners to be drivers of their own learning, know what they are learning and what the next step looks like. This workshop provides practical resources and processes that will enable you to create meaningful progressions in ‘learner speak’ for your classroom and School. You will also strengthen your content knowledge in the foundational learning areas as you make meaning with other participants throughout the day.
Learner Agency - From buzz word to core belief
Friday, August 18
Learner Agency - Shifting from a ‘buzz word’ to a core belief
So many schools and Kahui Ako are using the word and talking about agency… Why? How are they enabling it and what are they doing? Taking time to develop a shared understanding, defining what it is and why it is important can not be underestimated. What is your current reality, where do you aspire to be and how might you get there? Come and learn about our journey and how we have developed Agentic Capabilities to better enable ‘curriculum weaving’ and have some take away strategies to work through in your own context.
Designing Rich Learning Opportunities
Friday, September 8
New approaches and new designs for learning are required to address equity and engagement for all our learners. Rich Learning Opportunities are a way of thinking differently about the learning design. Who, what, where, why, when and how do we consider this as a part of our planning? How do we support and scaffold teachers with rich models and prompts… Is it a doable and reasonable ask of our teachers? Join us to hear about how we have tackled some of these wonderings in our context and take away some ideas to introduce, or embed in your own context. Suitable for teachers or leaders.
Designing a Graduate Profile to inform local curriculum
Friday, December 1
Stonefields Collaborate Trust & Te Kete Hono are delighted to invite registrations for their joint Graduate Profile workshop.
Designing a graduate profile. What is it, why is it important and where on earth do you start? Locally… What is your current reality, where do you aspire to be and how might you get there?
In this workshop we will share how Stonefields School tackled the challenge of surfacing what is critical to know and what is critical to learn. Our graduate profile has been pivotal while thinking about our local curriculum and curriculum entitlements. It has not been easy; we have traveled the undulating path of change yet again. Insights into what has worked and what hasn’t will support schools in their journey of imagining, reviewing and/or refining their own graduate profile in the context of their own community.
